eeeeeee! more bunnies!! http://www.rabbit.org/fun/net-bunnies.html
Heidilynn, bunnies can do all kinds of things that people have no idea about- they are a joy to live with (i have threeee) bunnies bunnies bunnies

fryingpan, have you ever watched a bunny clean him/herself? They flex their toes just like kitties and their “claws” can grow at amazing rates. My daughter and I can testify to the sharpness, as our dwarf rabbit has scratched us many times over the past 2 years.
Not too wild over the cuteness of the picture but it just shows how all critters look and act the same. I do love the fur between the toes though, makes the bunnies so special!!

Bunnies don’t have sharp claws? *looks down at the 4 parallel claw-lines all the way down my chest* That’s news to me!

(and never pick up a squirmy bunny while you are wearing a deep V-neck sweater – important safety tip….)

Srsly – I have to trim my bun’s nails once a month. Hers are the think blunt kind but my former fosterbunny had little needles – and they curved down into some serious points before I gave him a good trimming.

Doesn’t it just make you smile a self-satisfied sort of smile when a nuff displays their ignorance in such a public manner??
o’course buns got claws… how the hell do you think they dig holes in the ground to live in… shovels???

Oh wow, I just realized it freaks me out because it was how I envisioned a character in a story *I* wrote. Granted, my SO wrote the description of the character, and when I read it I started screeching.

My mind is a very dark and dangerous place, it appears. But also has the guts of a seven year old girl.

Bunnyowners…any foolproof tips for bunny claw trimming? I (sadly) let my bunny’s claws get way too long because he is so difficult to trim. With black claws, it’s hard to tell where the quick is without having a third or fourth hand to hold a flashlight up to the claw. Difficult. :( I wish bunnies would use a scratching post and wear ’em down.

(also, my dirty little secret is, while i have no problem trimming my foster bunnehs nails, i take Max to the vet for them to trim his nails…because Max doesn’t like his nails trimmed, and well, i am easily swayed when it comes to Max = P)

Bunnytoes! And a s-t-r-e-t-c-h-y bunny, with the most redonkulous ears I’ve ever seen on a bun!

Cats and rabbits have a lot in common – it’s almost as if they’re the “predator” and “herbivore” versions of the same basic model. In particular, both rabbits and cats seem to stretch and yawn in the exact same ways.

Second, that is such an adorable bun! It’s funny how in kids’ books and cartoons the bunnies usually have long ears that stick WAY up, when in reality bunnies seem to (I’m no expert here) either have huge ears that hang down or relatively short ears that stick up.

The claws thing sure made me chuckle–cartoon bunnies may not have claws, but real bunnies do, just like dogs and even hamsters. Not retractable kitty-claws, but claws just the same. Of course, anecdotal proof is not proof at all, so perhaps this will help fryingpan.
